Our Mission
Our mission at Colette’s Children’s Home (CCH) is to provide homeless single women and homeless mothers with children a safe home and nurturing environment where they obtain compassionate support and services needed to achieve self-sufficiency.
Our Values
Our values are compassion for those in need, commitment to each other and those we serve, confidentiality to maintain anonymity and dignity, physical and emotional safety to protect our women and children, dedication to service, agency integrity, and program excellence.
Our Programs
Since our incorporation in 1998, CCH has taken over 4,300 homeless women and children off the streets. Our three core housing programs include:
Emergency Shelter Program– provides emergency services for up to 30 days.
Transitional Housing Program– provides shelter and supportive services for an average 5 months.
Permanent Housing Program– provides permanent, affordable housing to graduates and members of the community.
We are one of the few homes that serve homeless women who suffer from a variety of issues such as economic hardship, domestic violence, mental health issues, and substance abuse. Our goal for each client is self-sufficiency and independence, breaking the vicious cycle of homelessness.
